I'm upgrading from 98SE to XP Pro. My chief concern is that somewhere XP will ask me to convert to NTFS. If it does and if I do will my C: be converted cleanly or will I lose my data? I intend to backup the data on a cd but still have the Fat32 to NTFS question staring me in the face. Is there anything else I should worry about also?

Standard Windows utility that is called CONVERT serves this purpose

Just go to the Command Prompt and execute the command:

C:\> CONVERT C: /fs:ntfs

Where C: is a name of the drive you want to convert.

After machine re-boot conversion process will start and you'll have your FAT32 converted to NTFS without of data loss.
